We are not certain about these, for one of two reasons.
Wiktionary says some of them were built from a word spelled like this one, without saying which meaning, so we show each under every meaning it could have come from.
The rest are spelled a little differently from anything here — a tone mark or an underdot apart — so we cannot tell a misspelling of this word from a word that has no page yet.
Both are fixable on Wiktionary, one word at a time. How to help.
agẹnoun
Wiktionary points at “agẹ”. No word here is spelled that way, so we have linked “àgé”, which matches once underdots are ignored. It may be a misspelling, or “agẹ” may be a word nobody has written up yet.
àgé
kettle
gẹdènoun
Wiktionary points at “gẹdè”. No word here is spelled that way, so we have linked “gede”, which matches once underdots are ignored. It may be a misspelling, or “gẹdè” may be a word nobody has written up yet.
gede
all, every, everyone, everything
